Specifies various options to use when generating .NET types for use with an XML Web Service.
This enumeration supports a bitwise combination of its member values.
public enum class CodeGenerationOptions[System.Flags]
public enum CodeGenerationOptions[<System.Flags>]
type CodeGenerationOptions = Public Enum CodeGenerationOptions- Inheritance
- Attributes
Fields
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| None | 0 | Represents primitive types by fields and primitive types by System namespace types. |
| GenerateProperties | 1 | Represents primitive types by properties. |
| GenerateNewAsync | 2 | Creates events for the asynchronous invocation of Web methods. |
| GenerateOldAsync | 4 | Creates Begin and End methods for the asynchronous invocation of Web methods. |
| GenerateOrder | 8 | Generates explicitly ordered serialization code as specified through the |
| EnableDataBinding | 16 | Enables data binding. |
Examples
The following example illustrates the use of the CodeGenerationOptions enumeration to specify the behavior of a ServiceDescriptionImporter object.
// Generate properties to represent primitive values.
importer.CodeGenerationOptions = System.Xml.Serialization.CodeGenerationOptions.GenerateProperties;
Remarks
A Web Service Description Language (WSDL) file typically describes a class in XML schema language as an xsd:complex type composed of various primitive xsd:complex and xsd:simple types. When generating a .NET class that represents a given xsd:complex type, you must choose how to represent the various primitive types it contains.
By default, each primitive is implemented as a field. If you specify the GenerateProperties option, each primitive type is instead implemented as a property.
Ordering of serialization code
The GenerateOrder member instructs the code generator to create the serialization code in a specific order as determined by the Order property of the following attributes:
Note
Once the Order property has been set on one public property or field in a type, it must be applied to all public properties and fields for that type and all inherited types.
